...The prosecution presented wire taps and mobile phone records from the Shafia family in court to support their honor killing allegation. The wiretaps, which capture Shafia spewing vitriol about his dead daughters, calling them treacherous and whores and invoking the devil to defecate on their graves, were a focal point of the trial.

"There can be no betrayal, no treachery, no violation more than this," Shafia said on one recording. "Even if they hoist me up onto the gallows ... nothing is more dear to me than my honor."...

These folks got a minimum of 25 years to life. They were convicted on four counts and I don't know if the sentences are consecutive.

At any rate as I have tried to explain to you, it is rare in the Western hemisphere. It happens about as often as Christians hearing the voices telling them to drown the kids in the bathtub or otherwise sacrifice them.

It is cultural, not religious.

We let them in because otherwise I'd have to live next to evangelicals which I prefer not to do.

Murder your kids for not conforming to your religious beliefs? Welcome to Islam. Islam converts ordinary humans into psychopaths, starting from birth. You have to give it credit, most of our psychopaths are born that way, not made into them. It takes a dedicated cult of psychopaths to create psychopaths out of all their children. No wonder they freak out and murder their kids if they abandon insanity for reality. Who could blame them. Now excuse me, I have to go slaughter my neighbors for eating fish on a Monday.

Ducky, you are absolutely wrong on this "It is cultural, not religious."Find me an non Muslim Arab who'd kill his kids because they were dating. thanks.By the way, I'd have thought Christians living next to you wouldn't insult you or bother you. Your comments shows your small mindedness and sickening bias. You'll never understand Arab cunning, will you, because your big, supposed intellectual elitism won't let you think anybody but a believing CHristian can be bad. Be as naive as you want about islam, we're doing all we can to protect you.I'm hoping Muslims start to speak out against this...there are a few speaking out in Canada...blaming Islam, by the way. but, good try. ..and I hope you enjoyed yet another chance to show your constant hatred for Christians who actually follow Scripture.

Ducky is just playing the role toward Muslims that career "Anti-Semite Detectors" play in constantly searching for and loudly denouncing any sort of commentary that might even faintly be interpreted critical of or unfavorable to Jews.

The only difference I can see is that Ducky is self-professed Catholic (Roman, I presume, right Ducky?), while most aggressive Anti-Semite Detectives are either Jewish, themselves, or rage-addicted Denunciation Addicts who love to involve themselves in hostilities not properly part of their domain.

I don't think Ducky hates Christianity per se as much as he dislikes what-he-believes is bigotry and narrow-mindedness that can too easily be used as an excuse to perpetrate violence.

People need to give up Group Identities, and GroupThink of ALL kinds. Each of us is an INDIVIDUAL and should regard himself -- and be regarded and evaluated -- strictly on that basis.

Multiculturalism -- which aids, abets and foments DIVISIVENESS in every conceivable way -- is the villain in the piece.

My friend, we've got to send Those who will not blend Around the bend, Or we will come to no good end.

These are not isolated incidents it is happening all of the time, whether it is here in the states, or in Canada or any free nation.

That butcher deserves to die along with his wife.

It breaks my heart that no one helped these young beautiful girls when they were begging for help. They did all of the right things in asking for help, but because of fear of the Muslims, no one did a damn thing to help them and now they are all dead.

I hope they can sleep at night knowing their political correctness aided four women to the grave.

Are you kidding, ducky? The household gods are the original deity. Ancestor worship is but an extension of Mediterreanean honor cultures. Not all the old Italians and Siicylians converted from paganism... and many blended their pagan and Christian rites. Old religions die hard.

Duck,We let them in because otherwise I'd have to live next to evangelicals which I prefer not to do.

So, you've been accosted by evangelical Christians? Really?

I have all sorts of neighbors here. The most troublesome ones here are the NLRB couple who are always on the lookout for any and all zoning violations: leave out the garden hose or a bucket, and these neighbors call zoning enforcement. Once, they called animal control because a black snake exited their property and came over to my wooded back lot. Animal control laughed at the request. Literally.

I have no idea as to these neighbors' religion (if any), but I doubt they are evangelicals as their last name is Jewish, and I've seen no evidence whatsoever that they are Jews for Jesus.

The one Muslim neighbor that we had years ago was an excellent neighbor in all respects.

It happens about as often as Christians hearing the voices telling them to drown the kids in the bathtub or otherwise sacrifice them.

Leticia,It breaks my heart that no one helped these young beautiful girls when they were begging for help. They did all of the right things in asking for help, but because of fear of the Muslims, no one did a damn thing to help them and now they are all dead.

As a teacher, I am fully aware of the legal consequences of not reporting suspected child abuse to child services; in fact, I've been down that road as the teacher who had to file such reports. Not reporting such instances is a legal liability -- and not only for tort action, either. I can't imagine that Canada doesn't have similar laws.

Did the Shafias flee Afghanistan to get away from the Draconian and misogynistic-in-the-extreme Taliban? I think so.

Yet, Mohammad Shafia brought with him misogyny and fundamentalism. That fundamentalism could differ from that of the Taliban's. But in all aspects, no!

Where did Shafia's idea that his wives and daughters were his personal property to do with as he wished come from? That idea crosses several sects of Islam. Logically, that should tell us that Islam itself is misogynistic.

Furthermore, Shafia's statements about his "right" to kill family members who betray Islam are very telling.

And let us not forget that Shafia lived for nearly 20 years in the West before he killed his daughters and his infertile wife -- with the help of his fertile wife, no less.

How did Shafia's neighbors regard him? As "another nice Muslim neighbor"? I haven't read anything about that -- maybe I missed that information. Anyone here know?

Because the West believes that our way of life will change their value system?

What is even more disheartening is that significant numbers of Westerners are converting to Islam. I read just the other day that Liam Neeson is considering conversion to Islam. Apparently, he is impressed with how much devout Muslims are dedicated to their faith, especially with their stopping everything to pray five times a day. Where is any similar commitment from Christians? Christians are hesitant even to say grace in a restaurant.

Ancestor worship is but an extension of Mediterreanean honor cultures.

We can say the same about certain other cultures as well, including China.

Religions are ALL about mankind "Eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil"... NOT necessarily worshipping any particular Deity. And as soon as we THINK we know the difference (between Good and Evil), we have things to both "honour" and "curse". Be it those who brought us into the game, or those who promise us a better place when we live it.

Atheists and "Scientific Humanists" think that they are "avoiding" the ignorances inherent in religion simply because they worship no Deity(s). But so long as they believe themselves intelligent enough to distinguish "Good" from "Evil", they place themselves on a par with all those who worship the gods. They are no better, and their results, no less harmfull.

That's what makes mr. ducky's self-proclaimed "superiority" over Evangelicals so sad. He is ignorant of his own ignorance. And this ignorance leads to the hubris he displays across the internet every day.

3. Add one can of chunk-lite tuna to the batter of your favorite recipe for coconut layer cake ...

4. When making meatballs add one generous scoop of used Kitty Litter to the meat mixture ...

5. Scoop one freshly-laid turd out of the toilet and place it to the punchbowl just before your guests arrive ...

If you don't get my point, society deserves the degeneration and destruction it is presently experiencing.

[NOTE: Crabgrass, dandelions, chickweed and wild onions make the best lawns. Grass has become an endangered form of plant life, because it requires too much time and dedicated effort to maintain. It's so much easier to admit defeat and let the weeds take over.]

"Let all bitterness and wrath, and anger, and clamor and evil speaking be put away from you with all malice, and be Ye kind one to another tender-hearted and forgiving one another, even as God, who for Christ's sake, hath forgiven you ..."

If we forget to live by Christ's words, we are not much better than our enemies.

Even so, I believe in this adage too:

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

It was idiotic of our liberal leaders to import trouble to these shores deliberately, because they thought it best "for the world s a whole" to transform our culture to fit their arrogant vision of One World United Under the Dictatorship of Socialist Doctrine Administered by an Oligarchy of Self-Anointed Elites.

I've been keeping up with this case, through internet..having lived in Canada most of my life, i'm glad i don't have to watch the CBC's version of the events. It's disgusting how they could drown them. I wonder how long those girls were alive in sheer terror bfore finally sucumbing. At least now the goverment in Canada is no longer Liberal, and they are making efforts to keep these muslime dirtballs from infesting the country.

Informed rational freedom loving people have all the reasons in the world to fear islam.

The twin fogs of political correctness & ignorance must be dispersed before western society better understands this menace. Even a brief review of islamic theology & history quickly exposes the deadly roots of this evil ideology.

Mohamhead was a 7th century murdering warlord who rose to power on a river of blood surrounded by thugs and gangsters using intimidation, violence, deception and trickery to expand their criminal empire while mercilessly suppressing and killing their opponents and enriching themselves on stolen booty.

The evil koran is a collection of sayings and speeches by this diabolical madman claiming divine guidance from some mythical sky-god which has inspired generations of crazed fanatics to abhorrent behavior resulting in historys worst ever crimes against humanity starting 1400 years ago and still continuing even today.

Islam is just another fascist totalitarian ideology used by power hungry fanatics on yet another quest for worldwide domination and includes all the usual human rights abuses & suppression of freedoms.
